Greetings and salutations! I'm Will, or "ShadowMageAlpha" as my online tag indicates. I've enjoyed the 40k universe for a good many years, initially getting pulled in by the first Dawn of War game. (Humorously, I always thought the Space Marines looked like bad guys on the cover.) I played Dawn of War and Winter Assault extensively, generally playing against the computer. Ever the sucker for big guns, it was here that I "decided" I liked da orkz and, to a lesser extent, the Imperial Guard. Eventually I moved to other games, still going back to Dawn of War every now and then, it was just so unique and cool. Then Dawn of War 2 and Chaos Rising went on sale on Steam, I snatched it up and everything was great once more. Through Dawn of War 2, its expansions, and Space Marine, I fell in love with the universe of 40k and its games. Eventually a co-worker at work introduced me to the table-top, which I knew existed but had little interest in. After a couple games, and a lot of wearing down, I eventually started amassing my own army: da orkz!
A few other random facts about me:
I am a brony. I am fond of Steampunk (which possibly explains my love of da orkz.) I love games of all variety and sort, including computer games, card games, board games, and of course, table-top games. I like to think of my self as creative, though not very talented (yet).
Happy to be here!

Right now, it's a smattering of a bit of everything really. Right now it mostly consists of Choppa boyz, some shootas, a bunch of nobs, lootas, some bikes, some trucks. BR Choptas, some Burnas, some old tank bustas, some (infuriatingly unbalanced) storm boys, and a Kan.
It's a really unfocused army at the moment, I eventually want a large enough collection to be able to most of anything.
